Insurance companies should fear people like Dr. Dave Ores more than any health care reform bill

November 16, 2009

While the politicians in Washington argue about how many uninsured people there really are, call each other liars and debate over eleventh-hour amendments, real people with real lives are not waiting around for some edict to determine their destiny. They get fed up, roll up their sleeves and get the job done themselves. And [...]

I know nothing, but let me tell you about it anyway

January 7, 2009

Few things make me more upset than “journalists” who have no knowledge of the facts of a story, write about it or get on television, answering phantom questions about hypoteticals.

I was settling in and almost asleep when some idiot on CNN was railing on and on about how this Clinton/Obama race is tearing the party apart, that it is bad for the Democrats, that they need to heal together to win the election in November. And, then as I hit that level of rage [...]

Political endorsements from Rufus

February 5, 2008

Rufus is pretty apolitical, but this election year, he has expressed some opinions on our walks. On the one hand, he is a black dog and feels pressure from CNN, Fox and all the other news people to support Obama. On the other hand, he is a dog and Hillary sometimes speaks in frequencies that [...]

Political Thoughts on Walks

October 31, 2005

Some things going through my head on recent walks: Supreme Court Nominee: I think the message your party is sending you, Mr. Bush, is take the job seriously. We know you are busy with lots of things like the Iraq War, Katrina, Wilma… but this is an appointment for life. Learn a bit from Covey; [...]
